Coagulation factor (F)V features an A1-A2-B-A3-C1-C2 domain organization and functions as the inactive precursor of FVa, a component of the prothrombinase complex required for rapid thrombin generation in the penultimate step of the coagulation cascade. An intramolecular interaction within the large B domain (residues 710-1545) involves the basic region (BR, residues 963-1008) and acidic region (AR, residues 1493-1537) and locks FV in its inactive state. However, structural information on this important regulatory interaction or on the separate architecture of the AR and BR remains elusive due to conformational disorder of the B domain.
